Why does the HD Pan America protagonist of Thunderbolts sound like a Japanese four-cylinder?

Marvel Studios is in full promotional campaign for one of its latest works, Thunderbolts, inspired by the literary work of the same name, where the original formation appeared for the first time in “The Incredible Hulk” in January 1997. So far so good, and in the line that the American production company usually follows, although, on occasions, inexplicably letting itself be carried away by the new ideological currents associated with the well-known culture Woke.

A good part of the blame for this situation may lie with the owner of Marvel, who is none other than Walt Disney Companyvery given to changing history based on her own interests. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the current Snow White or the Little Mermaid. As some specialized media on the subject argue, their respective authors must be turning in their graves.

Thunderbolts 2025: A Pan America that sees itself as “online Japanese tetra sports”

The new controversy surrounding one of the films of the famous Yankee production company is related to the Thunderbolts trailer. Well, more than controversy (we assume that 99% of viewers don’t care about this detail), it is a curious fact that occurs throughout the filming of the film. A detail that our colleagues at Ride Apart have noticed when viewing the 3:24 minutes that this small preview of the long-awaited film lasts.

We are referring to what happens, for just a few seconds, from approximately minute 2:38. It is nothing other than an HD Pan America, piloted by Sebastian Stan in the role of the Winter Soldier, sounding as if it were a GSX-R 600. And be careful, sounding like the Hamamatsu sports car is really cool, but having a trail equipped with a powerful “Made in USA” V-Twin engine do it, not so much.

Because if there is something that has its own personality and imprint, that is without a doubt a mount that came from the Milwaukee assembly lines and has nothing to do with (or rather sound like) the purr emitted by a Pan America at full throttle, in full action scene, than that of a Japanese four-cylinder inline.

So at this point one can only ask one question: Whose brilliant idea was it?… Taking into account that Thunderbolts has a budget of no less than 150 million dollarswho has been entrusted with the task of eliminating the original sound of the Pan America in favor of another similar to that of any Japanese sports car? We would like to know, but surely the executives at Harley-Davidson even more so.
